How do you make an octopus laugh?

Answer: With ten tickles!

Spent some time at the zoo today and was fascinated by the nose and breathing of the Harbor Seal - definitely need to learn more about this amazing animal

1st day of studying for the bar exam, I really hope I pass

When the squid scientists start postin crazy ass cephalopods

The answer is obviously the 1999 edition of A Christmas Carol

Me: *blinks*

Me: *forgot I blinked*

Me: did the lights just dim in here?

@g-i-jo.bsky.social: no, you just shut your eyes

😭😭😭😭

Having a bad brain day when everyone else is doing ok is just ostracizing in the weirdest way

I’ll take that as my accomplishment for the day! It’s so cool right?

Who wants to share their favorite bit of scientific trivia from their field of research (or anyone)? For me, I love to point out that 2 square meters of sunlight, properly focused, is intense enough to melt rock.

Giant Pacific Octopus and her pink excrement from the Sitka Science Marine Science Center

Good afternoon squidlings!

Fun fact for the day: Giant Pacific Octopus excrement looks like ribbons and depending on the diet can be different colors

Bobtail squids and their bacteria relationship has been studied by the US Air Force to improve the camouflage of their aircrafts

Cutie pie of a thai bobtail squid

In the realm of bobtail squids, I would hate to keep anyone from knowing about the tiny Thai bobtail squid which grows up to about .4” at adulthood, it’s so cute and also has a symbiotic relationship with bacterial colonies that create light within it

Not surprising to anyone

Idk why but I haven’t stopped thinking about Grimace since reading this lol

Aw shucks

Morning y’all!

If you were a Hawaiian bobtail squid, the morning is when you get rid of 95% of the bacterial colonies inside of you that creates light.

Not all squid produce light from their own bodies, some regulate bacterial colonies throughout the day where the population builds until night

If you eat uncrustables other than completely frozen, you are a heathen

you ever think about how everyone is trapped in the prison of their own minds

Heads up to anyone in the continental 48: you may be able to see the northern lights tonight!!

That’s awesome to know!

Anemones and clownfish live harmoniously in a symbiotic relationship where clownfish fertilizes with its feces and the anemone protects the clownfish but there’s no verified reason (that I could find) of why the clownfish aren’t poisoned by the anemone

Clownfish are all born male but once they become female they can’t go back to male

Anyone up for some popping late night clown fish facts?

They communicate through pops and clicks

It’s so nice in New York today,I really hope it lasts - I say sitting inside having gone out for a mere 5 minutes so far

I’m so sorry but you absolutely need those, they’re amazing

You just made my day with all of this, thanks!!!

I put the cute into acute gastrointestinal distress from overeating.
